Windows 7 is faster on the same machine than XP for me. The hardware was not changed at all. I'm running on a Pentium 4HT with 4 gigs of PC5300. I did a fresh install of XP a month ago and did a fresh install of Win7 64bit this week. Boot time is faster and the machine over all seems snappier.
I ran Windows 7 in a virtual machine on an XP host ( different machine, Core2Duo with 2 gigs ram) and Windows 7 booted faster than the host XP OS.
The white and light cyan areas do not have enough wind for economical wind generation. The next bluer area is unlikely to have enough wind. Certainly not enough for companies to risk investment.
Going to the 3rd blue area, can you see any areas of more than half the continent where wind energy would have to be transported? I know I do.
Interestingly, most of the areas where wind power isn't that great are also areas with great solar potential.
Land used for wind power can be multi-use. In the numerous wind farms I've seen in France, there would be a wind generator out in the middle of a farmer's field.
Try farming corn within a few feet of a nu-cu-lar reactor.
This would be great for those long trans-Atlantic and trans-Pacific flights where a Crackberry addict like myself goes into withdraw and the iPod battery finally dies.
Make it 1 million Euros (have you seen the dollar lately?) and a one way ticket to Frankfurt and I'm game.
If you don't live here anymore, who cares if you don't have the right to vote?
I'm more interested in what high efficiency chips like this could do for my server room. I have two huge air conditioners to cool a 10'x20' data center. They simply can no longer keep up with the heat coming from the servers. I could install newer, better, bigger air conditioners but that seems to be attacking the wrong end of the problem. VM, 2.5" sata raid, and SAN have all helped somewhat, but the biggest heat problem is still the processors.
The advertisement doesn't even say that it runs Linux. It runs something called gOS. A quick spin over to gOS's website www.thinkgos.com reveals a mostly non-functional, incomplete site where not even the download link works and no mention of Linux is even made. Yes, I see the note about the site being ready November 1st at 9am. (presumably when the developer arrives to start the FTP upload). But it's 11:30am here on the east coast and I got nothing.
I didn't. He was looking for excuses to fire me because I reported him for sexually harassing a co-worker. My performance reviews had been exemplary until that incident, then a few months later suddenly I got the worst possible grade across all categories in the review. I kept a paper trail because I could tell what he was up to. He fired me by saying that my performance had degraded , and I was no longer a fit for the company. I qualified for whistleblower status over the sexual harassment issue. Sued for wrongful termination, won.
I was told by my PHB that I wasn't allowed to use Firefox because a security vulnerability had been found and handed me a printout of the article. I forget which one it was, but it had something to do with phishing scams. I told him that I wasn't dumb enough to fall for phishing scams and if I did it wouldn't be hurting the company anyway.
This is the same guy who went ballistic because my iTunes library file (not the actual,legal, MP3s, those were on my C drive) was on the network and taking up 4megs of space. He actually went to the president of the company about this.
He was just looking for a reason to fire me because I reported his sexual harassment of a co-worker. I let them, then took them to the cleaners.
It's only a matter of time, but if Google adds the ability to do Calendering and resource scheduling in Outlook to the Google Apps Enterprise service. They could effectively kill MS Exchange in the small to medium sized business market. Google Apps offers 25 gig mailboxes, Postini Spam Filtering, personalized start pages, email migration tool, single sign on, blackberry service, and more uptime than god.
We have 250 users in my company. That would be $12,500 a year in email fees from Google Apps. How much does an Exchange Admin go for these days?

Favorite email client + IMAP = done Favorite email client + POP3 = done

is the year of BeOS on the desktop
"Computer, where is the transporter room?" "Oh! An escort.... how quaint."
so... we are the borg?
So is gravity, but you don't see people flying around creating anti-gravity museums in the sky...... and no, Star Trek doesn't count.
Apparently your "sarcasm detection officers" are on strike.

What about .Mac? Yeah, you pay for it, but it seems pretty reliable and is compatible with most email clients.
12 tabs, 10 minutes, 133megs, but still stable and fast. FF is still my main browser though
I, for one, welcome Steve Jobs as our new overlord.
and patent my self winding iPod
if I had mod points I'd mod you all the way up to 11.

It would be more interesting if I could run virtualized OSX server on my quad-processor AMD boxes alongside Linux and Server2003.
Doesn't Apple want to increase market penetration?
